FPGA‑powered SFP+ Crypto Appliance

A non-disruptive method to upgrade trust boundaries without redesigning existing infrastructure—turning every SFP into a high‑performance cybersecurity node.
FPGA‑powered encryption—turning every SFP into a high‑performance cybersecurity node
A pluggable SFP+ form-factor encryption node designed for inline operation inside existing SFP slots, enabling security upgrades without topology modification.
  • Vendor-agnostic integration
    SFP+ module is not dependent on the PLC vendor nor the interface and communication protocol. It supports any open technology protocol and supports interfaces such as RS232, GPIO or Ethernet RJ45.
  • Network monitoring
    SFP+ module might work as a network traffic monitor for analysis and statistics implemented on hardware level to ensure low latency and minimal packet jitter while supporting wire-speed packet processing.
  • Security
    Standards-based demarcation solution for delivering high-speed secure SLA-guaranteed Ethernet services with end-to-end lifecycle management – activation testing, continuous performance monitoring, remote troubleshooting and fault management.
